IT would have been money in Colonel John
sons pocket had a line of streetcars been run
ming to Crown Hill this week Thousands of
people who did not care to walk the mile and
a half from the North indianapolis station to
the cemetery. would have attended the cere-
monies Monday had there been a cheap
and convenient means of conveyance, and
thousands more would have visited the place
on succeeding days, while the freshness of
the decorations still remained. From simple
business point Of view, it would seem that the
building of this line would be fastened by an
enterprising company; but then, as everybody
knows, the Citizens Street railway Company
is not enterprising-in Indianapolis. During
the summer months at least, Crown Hill cars
would unquestionably receive as much patron
age as those running to Irvington or the In
sane Hospital.

THE Washington Republican enumerates
several drawbacks to the national drill, among
them being the interstate commerce law,
which prevented low rates of transportation,
Cleveland would be absent during the week,
and the failure of the deficiency bill contain
ing the appropriation for medals to the sue
cessful competitors. In spite of these discour
aging circumstances, however the Republican
insists that the drill was grand success from
the opening to the closing day. The general
impression throughout the country has been
that the affair was in some degree failure,
but if Washington is happy and satisfied, the
rest of the world should be content.

since an association of workingmen in Pitts
burg were publicly rebuked by priest for
wearing the badges of their order while in at
tendance at divine service, and were forbidden
to do so again. This incident at Baltimore
and the modified disposition shown recently
by the Canadian Archbishop and others in
authority toward the Knights of Labor seems
to indicate tendency on the part of the
church to change its policy to one more in ac-
cordance with the spirit of the times.

have cast its shadow over the relations be-

IT was not intended to overlook or ignore

was the success of the artillerists that filled

the people of indianapolis admire the
Light Infantry, and have a warm spot

hearts. The Lii ght Infantry always does the
city credit, and it has not infreq uently done
both city and State good service. Under dis
advantageous circumstances, they return

evidently, both local and sectional influence
were also impediments. All honor to the

A WELL KNOWN gentleman of this city, who
was until recently part owner of street-rail-
road franchise in St. Louis, says the city
charged the company for the franchise $1,000
a year for the first five years, and So, 900 a
year after that. The arrangement was salts
factory to both parties. The city knew what
it got and the company knew what it had to
pay. Such contract has its advantages over
one which involves combination of surprises
